Long Road easy. GTF is solidly representative of a side of pearl jam that doesn't really do it for me anymore.

Looking at this match up I thought shit this is tough, but then I realised that for whatever reason at this point in my life it really isn't. Long Road.

This is a good match up, but it's no question for me: Long Road.

I like them both, but I definitely have some GTF fatigue. Long Road.

Long Road is amazing, but still had to go with Given to Fly

This is as bad as the rival/no way match, they are farther down my list but still like right next to each other

Given to Fly, but I couldn't really be pissed with either of these advancing.

I was listening to Yield earlier, and I skipped GTF. I guess that means I better switch my vote to Long Road.

Long Road is always wonderful live. Studio cut is amazing as well.

Given to Fly sucks live now.

But the Studio cut is perfection.

I can't decide :(

Lately I've been thinking that Long Road/I Got Id/Merkinball-era PJ is the gold standard for all that which does not suck

Long Road.

I've played both probably thousands of times, but GTF has really worn out its welcome and Long Road keeps going on and on like a new tune every time.

EDIT: A comment Warehouse made once about Long Road...how he always writes some of the lyrics in the book you sign at a funeral...that actually really enhanced the song for me. So, thanks Warehouse.

GTF for me. The studio version is fantastic and PJ at their anthemic best. I don't like it nearly as much live though.

That's a shame. Both great songs.
